The Shirelles and King Curtis Give a Twist Party is a 1962 collaborative album between American blues and rhythm and blues saxophonist King Curtis and girl groupThe Shirelles. In 1968, the album was re-released as Eternally Soul.
Reception
Editors of AllMusic Guide gave this album three out of five stars, with critic Richie Unterberger characterizing the release as "respectable but not terribly exciting, and a bit schizo in concept", due to alternating tracks between the musical acts rather than having them collaborate directly.[1] In a review of reissues for Billboard, Chris Morris called this album a "bopping session".[2]
